You idiots are going to deny that blacks disproportionately live in cities, simply because I said they do?

Silly boy, big words have you confused?

Disproportionate is an adjective, not a noun.
disproportionate definition is to an extent that is too large or too small in comparison with something else.
"a tax cut would disproportionately benefit the rich"

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

You may be a bit confused by the size of the word disproportionately which was the word Jim used. Disproportionately is an adverb, not an adjective.

Perhaps Jim simply meant that the proportion of the black population that lives in urban areas is larger than the proportion that lives in rural areas?

here’s what i meant. blacks make up a higher percentage of urban areas, then they make up the general population.

blacks are about 12% of the us population, but 17% of the population or urban areas

over their heads. not over yours.

facts are racist now.

if he keeps his status in the party, will you admit you were wrong?

he was asked to speak at the Federalist Society, who already knew that he didn’t participate in any Trump schemes. what does that tell you? anything?
